Thank you for the support

[MsRuthieB]

I went through my PM's tonight because I was getting close to the limit. I just realized how much support I've had over the last few months from some wonderful people here. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are all wonderfully blessed with the gift of sincere compassion. If you ever need anything please don't hesitate to call on me.

Love,

Ruthie

I second that. :) MsRuthieB you are awesome! :yes:

Oh, I know Kreelie and Sunshine. Thanks for the kind words. Just over the last few months I'd get a Pm here and one there and really didn't notice how many different folks had dropped me a line. It just touched me last night. I'm like, damn...that's really cool that when the crap hits the fan people here will reach out. I don't know why I would think it would be different..I guess I just never thought it would be me that would need the support. But I totally appreciate everyone no matter if they pm'd me or not as I've gotten support through threads too. :) One person that's local even offered to help me run my errands. Isn't that so sweet?? ETA..someone else is sending me a home made cd to cheer me up (how could I forget that?). :) I'm just really floored at the gestures and everything.

That is cool Ruthie. Yeah, we love ya. And that's what makes VeggieBoards so great. Sure there are fights now and then, but really there's a tremendous amount of support, and it goes well beyond just food stuff. The people here have been there for me when I've gone through rough times, so I know what you mean. Hang in there, I know it's been tough year.

i'm glad that we can all be here to support each other when we need it.

many people ask me why i'm online so often (which, i'm not!) and i tell them that the ideas, creativity, and support that you get online is so honest and free flowing--things that don't often happen in real life so readily--and that it's a real joy to get to help people and be helped by them.

i mean, i've been in a few pickles and i've been able to work out a lot just by being here, venting, and also helping out others. It's amazing how it works. Even though i'll probably never meet some of you IRL, you're still close to my heart and in my thoughts.

there are some people from online whom i still think about, even though i haven't spoken to them in over four years! amazing, huh?
